Splendor is a modern classic. To some extent, these negative reviews of the original reflect a bias of professional reviewers against lighter, simpler games. To those of us who don’t play games all day every day, and who regularly play with “non-gamers,” Splendor is a treasure because I can break it out once every few months, teach it in 30 sec without looking at the rules, and both me and a person new to hobby gaming will be engaged for 30 mins. I’ve had at least a dozen friends get interested in gaming after trying Splendor.
I'm definitely on Tom's side with Splendor. It was one of the games that got me hooked into the hobby and is still a lot of fun the break out and play now and then. It's just a great easy game when you are looking for something quick to play or are introducing people to gaming. I've been really intrigued about this new version since it was announced. I'm really glad to hear all of your positive thoughts and can't wait to give it a try myself. 🤩
The blurry scores are great. Very clean and proffesional looking. Love it. Keep it.
Tom was the only sensible person here, all that hate for Splendor 😮😅
The progression from Splendor to Splendor Duel seems similar to the progression from Kingdomino to Queendomino, or from Azul to Azul Stained Glass. There are people who prefer the simplicity of the originals, and there are people who find the original a bit dull, and prefer the extra mechanisms of the follow-ups. I imagine that would give you a good idea of how much you will like this.
Splendor is dry, but one time, my friend's girlfriend was kicking our butt so hard i started to realize the game has more strategy than i tought
How many "Splendor Killer" games have come and gone over the years and Splendor keeps on going
People can hate on Splendor all they want to, but it has the notes of a modern classic.
Next dice tower top ten? Top Ten Games that need a Duel version?
Tom walked all over Chris's Lost Cities Duel punchline.
This review sold me on it. I was very much in the "I love Splendor. I already have Splendor. Why do I need Splendor Duel?" camp. This makes me want to play it. I'll be looking to order it when it becomes available from MM in the future.
I really enjoy these group reviews
"Keep being mean to your opponents." A very Zeevil attitude.
Nice reviews! Always have a good time with Splendor and Cities of Splendor so this is an insta-buy. :)
I got to play this at the retreat, and my husband and I really liked it! We own splendor, and I don’t see the need to own both. A great option for people that only play 2 player or want this as an easy travel version.
I love this new Splendor Duel… its mean filled with tension.... it have much good game play…. Eagerly awaiting this to hit the stores
I think the wild symbol reminds you that you can only place it on another bonus card. (Zee missed this rule in his account)
I feel like the lost cities duel joke was criminally under-appreciated
Love Splendor and the Splendor App provided road trips of fun.
This is the first game I ever preordered without seeing anything about it because I love Splendor that much. The multiple victory conditions and grid of tokens here has me very excited!
